16 Best Beer Bars near Federal Way

“I’ve been eating here for so long and there’s a reason why we always come back! Chicken is super fresh, not frozen, well battered and fry to perfection! The flavor is always on point too! Creamy udon can be a hit or miss because sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes too salty. The half and half and the boneless onion cream chicken are my recommendation, as well as the corn cheese! Fish cake soup also good but the broth can be better! Only down point is they don’t do reservations so either you have to come early or it’s gonna be a long wait :(“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“

“I’m a cider snob and they had so many new ones for me! Companies I love but also brands I’ve never heard of. New flavors I’ve never had. I am so wildly impressed. I dropped a lot of money on cans to go but also stayed to have a few small pours.“

“Great local tavern with an amazing selection of beer, wine and spirits. Love the pub grub food menu and the staff always has a recommendation for the perfect drink you don’t know you liked! Cozy wood paneled indoor seating and nice outside place to sit when the sun is shining.“

“A to Z, this place is nailing it! Fantastic variety of food, 100% recommend their variety platter of sausage and more. The spicy cheese sausage was grand! The staff was so kind and attentive. Made friends around the fire and loved the beer! Will be there again! Prost!“

“Found this little gem on a Thursday run with my running group. Stopped in afterwards and had the pear, arugula, goat cheese, and hot honey pizza. Wonderful pizza with all ingredients well balanced, albeit a bit messy. 😉 Was told by the bartender afterwards that next time I could add meat ingredients too. So if you want to guild the lily just ask.

The atmosphere was perfect for an intimate couple with soft lighting, quiet music, and dark colors. This would be a perfect cozy date spot (21+ only, so kid free zone). Plus, afterwards, there is gelato next door.“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“awesome arcade and Monte the manager was super kind. highly recommend“

“The Hob Nob has a very nice variety of food choices to pick from, the bar has a diverse variety of choices as well, with great people to serve you, the atmosphere there is always good.“

“Stopped here to find a lotus energy drink and got lucky!!! They had a few options to choose from and all sounded very tasty! I got the "Glow Up" Coconut, Blue Raspberry, Blue Lotus Energy Drink with Coconut Milk! Tasted very good!!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, lots of tables and chairs. Relaxing, chill space. Lots of cider drinks to choose from as well as some food options. Very clean and tidy and would go here again if I'm in the area!“

“the service an food {says the cook}“

“Great new place; nice comfortable interior with a strong “people place” atmosphere! Good service and tasty well crafted hot beverages (oat milk chai w cacao & mushrooms and a decaf latte).

Insider detail: decaf usually is a harder drink to pull correctly - many decaf beans result in a more bitter drink. To avoid this 1. Procure better beans and or better processed beans, or 2. Do a shorter ‘pull.’ The Rusty Goat has not-bitter beans. Yay!

Support this place tucked away in Opera Alley, the vanguard block that started the downtown Tacoma retail renaissance and re-renaissance and post Covid rebuild. It’s worth it.

There is ample street parking.“

“Good people good drinks! Just do it!“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“

“Great place for family gathering“

“This place is a gem among basic airport options. We had two orders of the signature beef patties and both order were incredible, so flavorful and cooked to perfection! We also had the chowder which is too notch. Add locally sourced beers, spirits and ingredients along with phenomenal service from Rocio and this was one of the most memorable airport meals we've ever had.“
